Arctic Bites Fredonia: A Culinary Gem in Fredonia, NY

Great food and ramen shop atmosphere. If this location is still doing crepes; I highly recommend! Wonderful hibachi entrées, ramen and milk teas. If you are trying to decide as to dine in though...The newer faces I've seen running the front for the last year or so provide hit or miss service. Depends on their mood, as to whether or not your patronage is an inconvenience. I've had some very pleasant dine in experiences and ones that I wish I had got take out instead.

Loved it. I did not expect to find such good sushi in this little town. The ramen bowl was great too! Definitely save room for dessert! I recommend the Japanese crepes, but they are huge.

I would come here all the time in college for a sweet treat—especially the rolled ice cream! I always got the Sweet Sunshine—so good. For meals, the chicken fried rice and the ramen soup are both great choices. Super filling, flavorful, and you’ll definitely have leftovers to take home. A go-to spot for comfort food and treats!

My mother and I went here the week they opened the room for ramen/poke/sushi in late March 2019. The man waiting on us had an incredible passion for what they are doing! Unfortunately he was so excited, he forgot to put in my order so that mom was done way before mine arrived. The food is amazingly fresh and of superior quality. Be aware, Japanese love fatty pork, the chewier and fattier, the better. Mom had the pork ramen and liked it, except for the pork belly. I had the spicy ginger chicken signature bowl. It was good, but the spiciness really had an a cumulative effect so my mouth was burning by the time I was done. This restaurant space has a gorgeous design, too!

Your typical Japanese restaurant with the occasional special rolls and varying cooked kitchen foods, it was hard to say this was anything different than what I’ve had from the past. With very little seating but quick service, you had to order in the front desk instead of having someone come to you which was a bit confusing at first. We asked for gluten free options for the rolls and I don’t think they remembered for the Summer roll. The flavors for both of these rolls didn’t really mix well especially the Summer roll with he strawberries. The best part about these rolls were the sauce hiding the flavor and textures of the sushi rolls. The pork ramen’s pork belly were cut so thin that it tasted very similarly to beef cut in a Chinese restaurant, dry and no fat. The veggies weren’t the most appealing either and I didn’t expect for there to be corn in this kind of dish. The umami was too salty most likely from the pork belly and unfortunately the veggies didn’t balance that out for me. Overall, it’s good for a quick bite if you didn’t care what you were having.
